Inflatable play equipment safety: the EN 14960 standard

Inflatable structure safety: everything you need to know about standard EN 14960

Safety is essential, especially for games intended for children and professional use. The European standard EN 14960 governs the design and use of inflatable play equipment.

What does standard EN 14960 cover?

• Height and resistance of protective walls.
• Secured nets and openings (fall protection).
• Resistance of seams and materials.
• Number and strength of anchoring points.

Good practices for use

• Respect the number of children and the maximum load.
• Always anchor the structure (stakes, sandbags).
• Provide permanent adult supervision.
• Do not use in strong winds (>38 km/h) or rain.

For professionals

Equipment compliant with EN 14960 is essential for insurance and rental. All our bouncy castles and play areas are selected with this requirement in mind. Also consider appropriate blowers and anchors.
